I’m getting frustrated with the amount of time it’s taking my 2 yr. college to process my financial aid. I submitted the paperwork on the 28th of September and I’m still waiting for them to finish it. They’ve got 4 people for the entire college. I understand that, but on Nov. 10th I would have paid for the entire term. I was wondering if there is anything else I can do or if this length of time is normal. All they’ll tell me is that they are in “step 2″.

I just got accepted to a graduate program (tuition remission). I did my FAFSA and I put down I made 12,084 in 2009. How much financial aid would I receive during my first year? By the way, I get tuition remission and teacher assistantship.

I have never went to college before and just decided I should do something about that, but I don’t know anything about it really. I did FAFSA once but then was just too busy working and with life to manage school too, so I never enrolled.
Is it too late to get financial aid and get enrolled in online classes starting next month?

I know it seems dumb to be asking on here instead of calling the school, but I’m looking for personal experience from someone who knows something about it.

I am married and am taking 3 college credits (one class). We are paying for it out of pocket because I have money set aside for college that I have been using to pay my way. I only intend on getting my liberal arts degree as this is as far as I want to go. Can I get financial aid from fasa for only taking 3 college credits or do I need to take more credits to receive aid? Thanks!

I am currently a student at a community college, and will be transferring to a university in the fall of 2010. I also receive financial aid. Do students who attend university( I know the tuition is higher there) receive more financial aid than students who attend a community college?

I’ve recently decided to change my major from computer engineering to nursing but my school (a 4 year university) doesn’t offer the program so i will have to move to a close by community college to get my AA. Since I’ve already received the financial aid for this semester and next semester’s financial aid is also decided, will i get the same amount of money, if any, when i switch to a community college? Also, will i be required to pay back the money i was given for this semester since i might not complete the year?

I am a student of the UC system and am disappointed that I am going to have to go broke in order to pay for my tuition.

I am planning on transferring to a different school/dropping out if my financial situation continues on like this.

I was wondering though if private schools still offer decent financial aid compared to this broken public UC system that I go to.
